The global emphasis on rapid development underscores the importance of harnessing renewable energy sources. Among these, hydropower primarily through hydrokinetic turbines. Savonius turbines, known for their effective characteristics in generating hydrokinetic energy, are particularly efficient in environments with weak or low-speed water flows. Various strategies have been implemented to optimize the overall efficiency and performance of these turbines. This study reviews the optimization efforts aimed at maximizing the parameters influencing turbine performance. Key factors include the Tip S

Intensifying climate change increases the vulnerability of coastal regions, especially in developing countries like Indonesia, where socioeconomic and environmental impacts are interconnected. Brebes, Indonesia, faces severe compound flooding caused by land subsidence, sea-level rise, and extreme weather events, which disrupt local economies and livelihoods. Milkfish farming has been identified as a viable community-based micro-enterprise that can enhance the economic resilience of coastal communities. This study highlights the importance of adaptive governance and the blue economy as framewor

The study aimed to explore The Impact of Professional Seniority, Educational Level, and Job Title on the Quality of Emergency Medical Services Provided by Paramedics at the Red Crescent Authority in the Makkah Region. To achieve the study's objectives, a descriptive-analytical methodology was employed. The study population comprised all employees of the Saudi Red Crescent Authority in the Makkah region, and the sample included 232 employees from the same organization. A questionnaire was used as the primary tool for data collection. Based on the collected data, the study reached several key fi

Both resistance and job satisfaction of paramedics are necessary factors in ensuring healthy and effective employees. Therefore, the purpose of this cross-sectional study was to examine the relationship between paramedics’ resilience with their job satisfaction and identify the demographic predictors of these variables among paramedics working at the Saudi Red Crescent Authority. Questionnaires included demographics, resilience (Connor and Davidson Resilience Scale), and job satisfaction (Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire) were filled by the 300 participating paramedics. The mean resilien

Hypoglycemia is a dangerous emergency which has many potentially lethal causes if left unrecognized and untreated. Since they are mainly the initial health care givers to attend to such instances, it is paramount important that they provide proper management. The cross-sectional study for this research was designed to assess the awareness, perceptions and behavior of paramedics in SPCA about hypoglycemia management. A cross-sectional survey was conducted involving conveniently selected 236 paramedics In The Saudi Red Crescent Authority using conveniently constructed structured questionnaire. A
